hi, i wanna ask. i have r9 390. so far so good. i never update the amd driver since i bought the entire new pc together with the gpu. i heard that if i update the driver, it will not perform as good as the old driver for the same game. meaning that if i update the driver, the gpu may not churn out fps as high as previous driver. is it true?

Newer drivers ensures better compatibility with newer titles.  Hence performance is quite subject to your setup.

what about older games which are 2-3 yo, let say dirt 3

for dirt 3 your current gpu can surely max out all details and still hit the magical 60fps mark  thumbup.gif

no no, i mean for instance. lets say gta V or other games which is over a year old. then will the previous driver be more compatible since current driver works best for current games only?

late 390(290) vs 970 with 2016 games.

If you overclock you card stay away from 16.12.x since the memory clock bug is still there.

ok, then which version is stable in every aspect

From what i've read in couple of forums, 16.11.5 is the last good one.

Not really, if i can buy an R9-Fury for under RM1.5k 6 months ago i probably grab that instead.

when i watch videos on youtube using chrome, sometimes i get blue screen. however, i never have blue screen when i play games. i checked using 3rd party software and it says is my amd problem. i reinserted the gc again, and still got blue screen. so, is it my driver problem instead of my card?
